Abstract: In one example, a timing control system for a faucet for dispensing water includes a valve sensor, a timer, and a light. The valve sensor is configured to detect operation of the faucet. The timer is configured to trigger a countdown in response to the operation of the faucet. The light is configured to illuminate the water of the faucet in at least one color in response to the countdown.

Abstract: The following embodiments include magnetic based devices, systems, and techniques applicable in a bathroom setting or a kitchen setting. A magnetic cleaning system is configured to clean a surface in the bathroom setting or kitchen setting. A magnetic mounting assembly is configured to mount a magnetic accessory. A cabinet includes the magnetic mounting assembly. A shower panel may include one or more magnetic acoustic shower tiles. A levitating drain stopper system for a basin is configured to magnetic open or close an opening in the basin. A magnetic water steering device is configured to magnetically direct water in a predetermined path.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a molded solid surface includes mixing ferrous particles into a resinous material, injecting the resinous material including the ferrous particles into a mold, the mold including an upper mold half and a lower mold half, creating a predetermined pattern in the resinous material by applying a force to the ferrous particles in the resinous material toward a surface of the upper mold half or the lower mold half using one or more magnets, and curing the resinous material in the mold into the molded solid surface.

Abstract: A sensor system can include a housing and a lens carrier at least partially disposed within the housing. The lens carrier defines a cylindrical structure including a number of housings disposed at a midpoint of the lens carrier, the housings configured to hold a number of sensor assemblies therein. The sensor assemblies include a first sensor assembly positioned proximate a second sensor assembly, each including a sensor lens and a sensor. The first sensor assembly is configured to emit a signal and the second sensor assembly is configured to receive the emitted signal. Positioned between the first sensor assembly and the second sensor assembly, and at least partially disposed around each assembly, is a gasket. The gasket extends from a base of the first sensor and the second sensor to second face of the lens carrier, and is configured to block an emitted signal from the first sensor assembly.
